Seeking parts for old Lewmar Astor winches

[simonemwood]

I am refurbishing my old 2 speed self tailing Lewmar winches. models AST520, AST460 and AST430 and am trying to find out where I can order replacement parts if possible.

Specifically I need replacement feeder arm for the 430 and retainer lugs (collets) for the 520

I will likely need more parts as I pull the others apart !

I have been in contact directly with Lewmar technical and they couldn't help me. These were special ocean racing winches that they ran only a small production on. They are fantastic winches. Over 30yrs old but still working great except for a few minor part failures.

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

I have indeed. Spent an entire day on-line and on the phone.
